Overview

In computer based technologies students are helped to think
constructively, critically and reflectively. The main aim of the Cairo
University E-Learning Centre is to bridge the currently existing gap
between the advanced, technology enhanced teaching and learning methods
in Europe and Egypt. These advanced teaching methods should enhance the
Cairo University teaching staff skills, provide better feedback
facilities on students' performance, and afford continuous fruitful
monitoring.

Moreover, the WBT environment allows interaction between
students and makes student-student and student-teacher synchronous and
asynchronous communication possible. Offering learning on demand, and
life long learning possibilities to everybody is also an advanced goal
of the centre. Besides, we plan to use the proposed E-Learning centre
with the already existing one in Aachen University of Technology to
design an intercultural virtual campus, thus bringing together students
from different cultures and giving them the opportunity to exchange
their experiences in the area of technology enhanced learning.

Mission

Providing
suitable SW/HW and human resources to create and maintain an advanced
e-learning education centre that is ready to provide both online and/or
offline education facilities. The centre will also follow up-to-date
features for extending its e-learning system.

Vision

The
centre should be a source for creative development of e-learning
material and environment. It should also facilitate cooperation in the
field of e-learning and intercultural studies.
